The overwhelming number of small businesses are one man shows, operated out of the owner's home.
I beg to differ and would like to see where you get that information from.
Regardless, I'm speaking more about mom n pop restaurants being run out by the cracker barrel and Wendy's, local markets being ran out by walfart, neighborhood hardware being consumed by home depots.
Side note, are you aware that you can quote more than one person per post without making 3-4 in a row?

And Every one of those Big, Mean establishments started out exactly like the rest of the businesses that you claim are being run out!
They all started with an idea and one hardware store, one Cracker Barrel, one Wendy's, one Wal-Mart at a time!
The difference is .. They had a better business plan!
Can't we for once simply celebrate the success of our great nation and the resilience of our people?
I don't care who the President is -- they don't have that much to do with it anyway. The facts are the facts and I'm delighted we're back on track.
The facts as you call them are nothing more than a fabrication of every leftist idiot who wont admit that their idol is a complete and utter failure!
If you had 'bothered' to read my post .. which laid it all out in black and white, you would have been (or Should have been) too embarrassed to form such a reply!
Of course, I for one do not believe that Obama has failed in his agenda!
I believe that what he has done to this nation was wholly intentional!
Newly released Census data reveals nearly 110 million Americans – more than one-third of the country – are receiving government assistance of some kind.
The number counts people receiving what are known as “means-tested” federal benefits, or subsidies based on income. This includes welfare programs ranging from food stamps to subsidized housing to the program most commonly referred to as “welfare,” Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
At the end of 2012, according to the stats, 51.5 million were on food stamps, while 83 million were collecting Medicaid – with some benefitting from multiple programs.
Good news for the nation...so of course the conservatives are trying desperately to find some reason not to believe it. 'You can't trust the numbers!' usually right around the time they've quoted some number that seems to support their argument (like all the people who've dropped out of the work force -- that's a gov't sourced number too). Or 'the source is a liberal liar' -- they never argue *facts*.
The facts are that every economic indicator is improving. Unemployment -- like it or not -- is just 6.1% nation wide. Car dealers had their best August in 11 years. Consumer confidence is up. Exports are up. The deficit is down and dropping. More Americans have health care/insurance. Crime is down.
Just roll with it, guys. Sooner or later things will start to sink again and then you can be happy again.

I think you misunderstand the "right".. We're far more willing to celebrate the success of the nation than the left is willing to admit we dont have it..
